Semester 1 AY 2013/2014

School started 2 days after i came back from Korea. Although the time was pretty tight, the joy of seeing my family and friends was really great. Voices audition started on the first wednesday and I was really excited to see the auditionees as well as my friends! Oh not to mention the 1-for-1 starbucks too.
Then, there was the CAPT Formal dinner. They gave out free mugs for us too.
Some of the more prominent ppl who made my life in CAPT much more wonderful. Oh and our guest-of-honour was S.R Nathan!

Then mid-sem, just before recess week, my mum, sis and I headed to Hong Kong for a short trip. The Tim Ho Wan there really much nicer than Singapore's
Met up with Virina there!

Managed to catch the ending of Triumph to the Skies 2 there and the trend was to notice pilots! haha took photo with the pilots of my plane on the way back to singapore!
One year really no joke. Been through all sorts of obstacles with this amazing comm. finally, we are done to AGM a.k.a handover day. All the unhappiness, let it be gone. All the happiness, let it stay in our memories forever... :)
Met up with Ms Liang for Tim Ho Wan! Paiseh to make her wait 1 hour man...
Post-handover supper at Soon Fen's place!
one of the rare times i will take the train home....
Went for the annual TVB star awards with my mum who managed to get some VIP tickets. Met Vee there too!
And then, in the blink of an eye... I am 21. Thankful for this bunch of people.. :))))
This week was quite a overwhelming week. It didn't start too well but it ended well. Had supper and games with this group of voices ppl! <3

 ktv with the voices ppl at pasir ris!
My lil sis went to china for a week so here's a pic of us sending her off.

October is a month to celebrate! We celebrated porcupine chong and tere's birthday at a jap steamboat restaurant in marina square! Not forgetting minion cupcakes from Temptations Cakes.

Voices Qing Gong Yan! didn't really join the juniors since i had dinner at Owl with the seniors. but we went for KTV after that. tere and i left early in order to catch the train though... 12 ppl in a small Teo Heng KTV room. we really super zai!

Some time at home playing with soft toys with my brother...

No matter how busy, we will always have time to celebrate each other's birthday! celebrated huixian's birthday at liang court before heading for ice cream and sitting by the singapore river watching ppl bungee jump. Huixian wanted to take but none of us dared to take w her... haha

Spend one evening having dinner at Alcove located at NUS UCC with siyi! Not bad la the food.

One weekend, siyi and angella came over to 'study'. but of course, i think i was the only one who studied. mum cooked a feast for them and siyi, being a super garlic lover, finished almost every single bit.....

After Study sessions with siyi!

Met up with tere at vivo city for tea break (to use our TCC card) and supposedly movie but missed it cos of the stupid 196 that refused to come. had dinner at kim gary!

Then, the following wednesday, met up with siyi and tere for dinner at star vista. we settled for a hong kong cafe and they went to eat blackball while i bought koi. they helped me act some funny scenes for my NM project too! it was really funny!!!

The final friday of the sem: woke up early and headed to biz to celebrate min jia's 20th birthday!

Then in the evening, went to tiramisu hero to celebrate yiusi's birthday! really cute cafe. the food's pretty good too.
